Song Meaning

[edit]

Im wondering if anyone could offer some input on what the song is talking about/means? It seems to have a lot of controversy around it. I think this could help with the Lyrical Interpretation section.

I do agree with the comment above, unless it comes out of his mouth in an interview what he means through this song then we will see his point of view. However I believe that people need to stop looking or googling meanings of songs because each and every song holds a different meaning and interpretation for every single human being. Just because he might have mention that it portrayed his homosexuality, it does not mean that is how we should see that song. If the meaning for the next person could be that they wanted to share their sins. It is honestly ridiculous that people keep believe wikipedia and all its continents in it because people should interpret a song based on their own ears not through a meaning that they read from someone else or what the artist really is portraying. Please do yourself a favor, when you listen to a song that you like please make your own meaningful interpretation for just you and don not base it off the criteria of someones blog or the real meaning of the artist singing it. Please do your own interpretations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.45.64.243 (talk) 02:58, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hitchens or Greville

[edit]

It sounds as if Hozier was probably actually paraphrasing Greville not Hitchens in "I was born sick ...", based on an interview in the Telegraph and Hitchens quoting Greville himself with this line. I cannot find a secondary source for this though, so I'll leave it unchanged for now.

Saying the line is a quote from Hitchens is obviously wrong even with the sources we have now. I changed it a little by saying it's inspired by Hitchens and paraphrases Greville, adding your link as source. Isn't that better? --Sboucher (talk) 12:27, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Dohn joe:. Thanks for clarifying my edit, I was delayed. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:52, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Dohn joe, and don't editors benefit when they get pings when their content is replied to. There are a variety of benefits involved here. Any Hozier related content would surely contain piped links such as [[Take Me to Church (Hozier song)|Take Me to Church]]... Anyone searching from outside Wikipedia would see results "Take Me to Church" for the disambiguation and also "Take Me to Church (Hozier song)". In categories we would have "Take Me to Church (Hozier song) which is a more useful title in that content. I don't get your point. GregKaye 18:25, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User:GregKaye, sorry - I'm not a huge fan of pings. I assume that anyone who participates in a discussion watchlists it, especially in the near-term. I'll try to ping you from now on.

As for the point, the point of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (and the point here) is that when there is a primarytopic, editors are more likely to link to it at the base name, and readers are more likely to go up to the search bar, type "take me to church" and hit enter, wanting this article. Right now, we are sending those readers to a dab page, when we have the ability to send them here instead. Especially in a WP:TWODABS situation....

Dohn joe My main contention remains that "Take Me to Church (Hozier song)" is a more informative and useful title. I think that it would be nice if the search engines might work in a way in which this title would appear higher on searches on Take Me to Church in the same way as it does on searches on Take Me to Church Hozier or if google would offer a facility for sub links in its listing. The Hozier song does not have monopoly on the title. Our system is not out of the ordinary and basically functions in a similar way to an index which, in itself, is informative. I think there are advantages either way. GregKaye 05:56, 19 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ref for quotes

[edit]

@Bettydaisies: you've added a ref tag with the name ":0", but given it no definition. Could you please fill that ref in, and also indicate whether that covers all the quotes you added directly after? Thanks! -- Fyrael (talk) 21:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The masked singer?

[edit]

Should it be mentioned under “performances” that Bishop Briggs performed this song in the “Masked Singer” semi-finals in 2023? LatinJoe (talk) 22:59, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

13 September 2013 is flase release date

[edit]

I have resaerched when this song was released. I used https://web.archive.org/ My conclusion is: this song released on 03 July 2013 proof - https://web.archive.org/web/20130716003347/http://hoziermusic.bandcamp.com/ also the same date on genius https://genius.com/albums/Hozier/Take-me-to-church-single


Therefore 13 September 2013 is flase date. May be we have to make some edits? Anyone agree? Derek Di My Mind (talk) 23:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
